We go to NYC a lot, maybe once a quarter and sorry to say VinDiviners, that you're not going to get new hotel recos from yours truly. Why? Cuz we stay at one cool, happenin' place, that's right, The Chambers...

I'm not a fan of the Smith and Wollensky/typical Irish pub wanna be exterior, but inside is a very attractive/handsome space. I'd go back just because of the room. I sat at the bar for lunch to test out their burger. It's a solid burger - a bit salty (like McDonald's) and overpriced but tasty. Not the best the city has to offer, especially at the high price point, but very good. The plating was also very nice with a dipping sauce for the fries it came with. The fries were excellent but were so few (maybe 15 stubby fries). I'd like to go back to try the open faced sandwiches and possibly a steak.

One of my pet peeves in this life is going to restaurants that get to the 1 yard line and don’t get into the end zone… you know, the details. One thing is great, another sub-par, another not so good. I think to myself “if they would just do a few things different.. what an experience this would be.”

Quality Meats is a new entry in the sub-genre of luxury steakhouses, a niche occupied by itself, BLT Steak, BLT Prime, and Craftsteak. Characteristic of the category, the décor is significantly more upscale and chick-friendly than the typical steakhouse, the wine list more serious, the side dishes more carefully thought out, and the prices are several dollars more per entree than the already expensive standard set by NYC steakhouses

About a dozen years ago, as many of you know by now, I was a hopeful young lawyer at a law firm called Shearman and Sterling. It was a time in my life I often think back to with some wonderfully rich combination of misery and dread. At the same time I was in hell as a junior Mergers & Acquisitions associate (a fancy title for someone who proofreads term sheets, assembles corporate profiles and writes due diligence memos), a restaurant called the Manhattan Ocean Club was thriving. It was one of those places that lawyers took clients (and sometimes their young associates) for many martinis (read: lunch). For 22 years, the Manhattan Ocean Club stood and served, but toward the end of its second decade, its luster faded.

In a midtown littered with pre-theater menus and mega-delicatessans (Carnegie Hall), Quality Meats emerges as an unlikely dining destination that may just revolutionize the concept of The American steakhouse. After an impressive 22 year seafood-stint as the Manhattan Ocean Club, Alan Stillman, legendary restaurateur of The Smith & Wollensky group, has decided to do what he does best -- steak. He's even handed the restaurant's reigns over to his son, Michael Stillman, who has magnificentally transformed the space into a butcher shop chic steakhouse with a greenmarket vibe
